Original Text

American “Cracked Wheat.”*
Boil the wheat 10 minutes. Beat up a couple of eggs with a little sugar; flavour to taste with ratafia.
Bake a nice brown.
* Mrs. Hoover tells me that “Cracked Wheat” is an American preparation of wheat with husks removed—said to make and excellent porridge. A good recipe for it in a different form is given in The Century Cook Book (by Mary Ronalds); this seems to resemble the old English “Wheat Plummery.”
